Less than 10:1 will give you more cushion and will be easier to tune, but nothing wrong with 10:1

This sounds almost exactly like my build except boring to 5.7 with fully forged and studs. Been debating on what cam through Tick I'm thinking stage 2 myself with EFI and been trying to figure out what turbo. Having issues with allot of sites displaying properly.
